Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by York Archaeological Trust on the 27th August 2009, as part of a project to excavate a pond and install some new fencing posts at the Environment Agency's Riccall Depot, Landing Lane, Riccall. The pond was excavated to the south-west of the depot buildings. The pond is intended to flood and drain naturally, acting as a wildlife habitat. The pond will be c.14 x 10m in area with an outer shelf 0.1m deep, an inner shelf 0.25m deep and a central portion 0.5m deep. The excavation of the deepest portion of the pond and clearance of the outer shelf was observed during the watching brief, but not the final landscaping. The deepest portion of the pond was excavated by a mechanical digger with a toothed bucket, while stripping of the outer shelf was undertaken by a smaller machine with a toothless bucket. The ground through which the pond was being excavated was clearly modern dumping of demolition rubble, and comprised mid brown silt with frequent modern brick fragments, concrete fragments up to 1.0 x 0.4 x 0.3m in size, rubble, broken wooden posts, wire, iron rods and lumps of mortar. No deposits of archaeological interest were observed.
